Charli at the Carrot Ranch, with her prompt for this week:
April 4, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about fire. It can be a flame that burns or a light that inspires. Follow the flames and go where the prompt leads!
Out Of The Frying Pan, Into The Fire
I sat at the bar, nursing my whiskey. Needed to be sensible. I couldn’t afford to be reckless with my drink again.
I hadn’t meant to leave the barbeque unattended, but after a few drinks with my guests, I forgot it, and turned to see the flames licking the sky.
Gina wasn’t planning on letting me back in the house. I had to keep my cool, give her a few hours, then I’d go back, and she’d forgive me.
But would she?
I threw the fiery liquid down my throat in a single gulp.
“Bartender, another one please.”
But I Smile Anyway...

Fire-water is going to be that man’s downfall. He’s having trouble with all his flames.

Very interesting use of the word. Someone may think you are a relative of the Duchess of Kent, or directly Queen mom. 😉 Prefer Glenfiddich, its better for the throat. 🙂 Michael
